Which digital camera era do you want?
Choose flash, CCD color or early-phone softness. These ranges are starting points.
| Era | Camera traits | What to look for | Starting controls |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1997–2003 Early compact | 1–3MP sensors and direct built-in flash. | Hard flash falloff, with an orange camera date burned into a corner. | Highlights 58–64 Bloom 20–26 Grain 26–34 Date stamp on |
| 2004–2008 CCD peak | More capable CCD sensors, still with soft highlight roll-off and a cool, saturated cast. | Bright objects have a gentle halo; colors feel a little too confident. | Bloom 10–16 Aberration 10–16 Warmth 38–44 Grain 18–26 |
| 2009–2012 Early phone | The iPhone 4 era: softer detail, warmer color and a simpler camera look. | The whole image is slightly soft, which can flatter skin. | Grain 35–45 Softness 25–35 Warmth 55–62 Saturation 40–48 |

About the digicam and CCD camera filter
Give a modern photo an older compact-camera look: choose 1999 Compact for direct flash and an orange date, CCD Classic for cool color and glowing highlights, or Early Camera Phone for softer, warmer detail. Adjust grain, color, softness and bloom. These digicam looks are artistic simulations, not reconstructions of specific sensors.
FAQ
Which digital camera era should I pick?
